I will miss visits with cousin Curtie. He was always good about wanting everyone to stay in touch. I will remember his unique philosophy on life and relationships.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right
If I surrender to your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You

I had the opportunity to meet and work with Curtis most of my 34 years at Dallas County Public Works. We became friends and he was like my brother. Later in our career I had the opportunity to speak with him about his spiritual life and prayed with him on several occasions. I will miss him greatly but I know I will see him again in Heaven. John 3:16 and John 14.
